LET the Northern Californian keep this
epigram before his mental vision con-
stantly: 1t is the worst policy in the
world to underbid your neighbor with a
stranger buyer, when your success depends
upon your fellows" There is nothing that
gives home-seeker worse impression of
country than to find the people common
to section belittling each others offerings
of lands and competing by secret under
bidding and cutting If We would help
the boom along, we should not only be
glad that our neighbor secures settler for
his lands, but do all we can to aid him to
that land. The one thing to do to kill
the country is to continue doing as we
have known to be done; take the stranger
by the button-hole, and assure him that
you can better locate him for half the
money than the man with whom he was
last negotiating. The right thing to do is
to stand up for your region, and for the
market and for every honest man in it.
The right thing to do is to give the new
conner to understand that we do not pro-
pose to cheaper the land and climate
because We have such a rich heritage. We
should not lead him to believe that if he
but holds on and keeps us in competition
with each other he can buy the whole
region for a song. There has been alto
gether too much of this undertaking and
contemplate underwriting. Every tract
sold enhances the value of the remainder
and every man should help his fellow in
the effort to develop the country. Let
every man make it his business-and it is
the simple truth-to impress the stranger
with the fact that we have in soil and
climate and commercial advantages bet
ter section than any other, and that if he
"gets in" now and buys at the figure asked,
he is simply lucky fellow.

THE dispatches this morning speak posi-
lively of the appearance of cholera in
Guaymas. We are in direct communica-
ton with that place by rail daily, and by
water routes semi-monthly. The utmost
vigilance should be exercised, and at once,
to prevent it coming northward. 1t would
not be too radical precaution to cut off
transportation altogether, until the disease
ahates. The cholera has recently prevailed

A QUIET FIGHT.

Mr.. E. j. Healy was entertained Sunday
afternoon near o'clock by straight out
from the shoulder combat which took place
in the street on the corner of Emporia and
Pine. The fight was between two well
dressed gents who, it seems, CHANGED to meet
at that point They pelted each other with
the energy usually exhibited on such occa-
sions for near ten minutes. Neither OF the
combatants spoke a word from the beginning
to the flash. They were so equally matched
that neither was able to come out conqueror.
Finally they got so tired that it was impossi-
bic to continue, and each went off about his
business. No one interfered or even went out
into the street They were not known by
anyone living in that neghborhood.

MAJOR KNAPPIN THE CITY.

Major Knapp, the Fort Scott geologist,
arrived Sunday night. He spent yesterday
with Mr.. Davis, the secretary of the gas
company, in looking over the country sur
rounding the city. The task of the day was
to find point producing the most favorable
pointers for gas find. The question is a
very difficult one to be decided upon, and it
is probable that some days will be spent in
the investigation.
Mr.. Knapp, in speaking of the present
well last evening, said they had found many
favorable phenomena. The indications were
such as to lead encouragement to the COM
pany, and more wells would be put down
just as soon as possible The present well is
near two thousand feet deep, and the COM
pany has not decided how far down they
will yet CO.
Mr.. Knapp will leave this morning for
Fort Scott, and will return in Q few days to
resume his investigation

THE BIG SHOW NAxT WEEK.

Doris & Colvin's colossal show will exhibit
in Wichita on Monday, August 10. Not be-
FORE The large train Of fifty cars carries
this immense circus, menageris, hippodrome
and wild west.
The Kansas City Journal of August :
says:
1.-The streets were crowded yesterday with
people who had come to witness the two
performances given by Doris & Colvin's cir
Gus at Sixteenth and Lydia. There were
ten thousand people present In the afternoon,
while the tents were filled to oyerf1owiIg In
the evening. There were many new and in
teresting features-all are worth commenda-
ton. The representation of the attack on
Custer, while, to the regret of the small boy,
the CORY features were omitted, was well
done, as was the attack on the stage coach,
and every one seemed to enjoy witnessing
them. As whole, it is by far the best cir
Gus that has visited Kansas City this year:
The circus menagerie, hippodrome and
wild west are all complete, each being an en-
tire show in itself"

A GOOD CATCH.

Ed Stanley was arrested Sunday morning
at the milk depot on East Douglas avenue by
Detective McMahan of the Missouri Pacific.
Stanley is nephew of Mr.. Eldredge of
Eldredge park fame He is charged with
embeZzlement In St Louis
Near three years ago Stanley was assistant
clerk in the change at st. Louis He at that
time induced Mrs. w. 7. Babbett to give
two exchange notes calling for $500, promis-
ing to sell them to her advantage. Soon
after getting them in his possession he sold
them to a pawnbroker for $50 and skipped
the town.
The matter has been in the hands of detec-
tives ever since Stanley left st. Louis. Four
months ago they got track of him in Denver
but he avoided arrest. Several weeks ago
Detective. McMahan visited Eldridge park
and spied the man opening soda bottles. He
sent word to st. Louis. A gentleman know
ing him came here end said it was Stanley.
He returned to st. Louis and got requisition
papers and Mr.. W, 7. Babbett, husband of
complainant, was appointed agent Of Mis-
souri, and reached this city Saturday evening.
Soon after Stanley's arrest McMahan
dumped him onto an engine On the Fit Scott
road and took him to Butler county and
tagged evening passenger train which took
him to ST. Louis in charge of Mr.. Babbott.
Those who are familiar with the work of
Mr.. McMaban in the case say that it is one
of the finest pieces of detective work ever
done in the city. He had never seen Stan
ley and only had an incomplete descrip ion
of him. Stanley, since leaving St. Louis had
changed in appearance very materially, be-
ing near fifty pounds heavier

BAXTER'S MURDERER.

The man whom Officer Hembrough captur-
ediFriday night proved not to have been the
murderer of Baxter, yet his arrest proved to
be of the utmost impor lance, leading to the
capture, it is thought, Of the guilty man.
As soon as Sheriff White saw the man
Gupton he could not see in him anything an
swering to the description of the murderer as
sent abroad. When bis eyes ellupon the &C
cuser he Immediately recognized in him a
man answering in every respect the pub
lished description. When told of this, the
man commenced trembling, grew deathly
pale, and vehemently protested his inno-
cence. He was, however, arrested and taken
to Emporia last evening.
The sheriff thinks he has the guilty man
and that a case can easily be made out
against him. He has been known under the
names of Jack Miller and Al Smith.
Sheriff White on the Goth Of June
tsaced him to Kansas City but in some way
he managed to make his escape from that
city. His right name it is said by man
who knows him, is A. ]. Grigsby. At or
about three years ago he was employed as a
railroad hand in and around this city.
Guptop, the first arrest, has. not yet been
released from confinement, but will be if
nothing new arises in short time.
There appears to be no doubt but that
Grigsby intended to use his power to have
Gupton convicted of. tie crime and thus with
one man convicted, perhaps Imprisoned for a
crime he himself has committed, he would
feel further beyond suspicion in the future.
He has however, evidently miscalculated
